Lorena Gutierrez Camejo, Frozen Image (after Ángel Delgado), 2025

"Frozen Image" is a stark and visceral commentary on the persistent oppression faced by women in contemporary society. Through the unsettling juxtaposition of a common clamp and the word "WOMEN," this piece freezes a moment of power imbalance, demanding a reckoning with the structures that continue to constrict female voices and potential.

The bright red clamp, a tool designed to grip and constrict, becomes a potent symbol of the forces – both overt and insidious – that seek to limit women's agency. Its color is no accident; the vibrant red screams urgency, a call to action against the systemic barriers that remain deeply entrenched.

Beneath the clamp, the word "WOMEN" is rendered in antiquated printing blocks. This choice speaks to the enduring nature of the struggle for equality, a battle waged across generations. The blocks, reminiscent of a time when women's voices were even more marginalized, are now squeezed, distorted, and on the verge of obliteration.

"Frozen Image" is not merely a depiction of oppression; it is an indictment of complacency. It challenges viewers to confront the ways in which societal norms, historical biases, and even well-intentioned policies can inadvertently perpetuate inequality.

This work is a call to dismantle the structures that hold women back, to amplify their voices, and to ensure that every woman has the freedom to thrive, unburdened by the weight of a history defined by imbalance and control. It's a reminder that the fight for true equality is far from over, and that vigilance and action are essential to forging a future where all women can be heard, respected, and empowered.
